First Under-16 Indoor tournament

NOTE: Better late than never.

THE National Sports Council will organise the first Under- 16 Indoor Hockey this weekend with 15 teams battling for the Director General’s Trophy. Although it is an Under-16 tournament, the rules stipulate that each team must comprise of two Under-14, two Under- 15 and four Under-16 players. And to make it competitive, each state can only select two national under-16 trainees. Every State, including Sabah and Sarawak as well as Police have fielded a team for the inaugural tournament. GROUP A: Johor, Kuala Lumpur, Malacca, Penang, Perak, Sabah, Sarawak. GROUP B: Kedah, Kelantan, Negri Sembilan, Pahang, Perlis, Police, Selangor, Terengganu.

My main beat is field hockey, so this blog will have stories that I have written for the NST, as well as hockey news from around the globe. There will be regular updates. I was also the Secretary General of the National Press Club, Malaysia for three terms (six years).
